    If we had a public education system that produced people capable of posting grammatically flawed and kinda weird posts like this... I’d say, “Not a chance.”
    so you're the best. 
    I’m not sure how one could ever establish such a thing, but if you say so... then thanks I guess!
    Your weather sucks. No way you can be number one. 


    We have areas of really really bad weather (gawddam cold). But I can honestly tell you that in my neck of the woods, we have ideal weather for my lifestyle. We have four full seasons with ample snow in the winter and ample heat in the summer. To boot, our local geography is awesome: tons of wilderness, mountains, lakes and rivers.

    Are your summers hot enough to open a pool without a heater?

    It seems to me that some of the US has bad weather, too, at least from what I've seen.

    They can’t. They are incapable and only wish to spout hate.

    Weather commentary = hate speech. That's a new one.

    yes, way too radical and hateful around here. people actually angry that the President didn't collude.  they hoped their President was actually colluding with Russia, now they're angry to find he didn't.

    Personally, I like radical weather.  The bigger storm the better.  Extreme hot and extreme cold?  Awesome!  Keeps me in check as to who's in charge on this planet!

    because i have never seen often spout hate, which is why i asked. i don't think sc spouts hate either. i think he just spouts concern for his fellow humans, as many of us non-americans do here.

    I knew I should have worded that differently. Of course it's not only non-americans who show concern.

    yes, I paint 300,000,000 people all with the same brush. makes perfect sense. 

    look again at my post. I never said americans don't have concern. jesus. I mentioned non-americans since the original post I was responding to was aimed directly at two non-americans.

    Don't even worry about it. He's ultra sensitive. When he very first saw the title of this thread, he got excited and entered it to gloat; however, he became disappointed when people- mostly Americans- weren't supporting the notion.

    He had never even stopped to think about any of the items detailing why people might not accept the idea of the US being the most awesome country in the world. He still hasn't stopped to think about them- he's scoffed at them.
